Grand Junction, CO – A weekend cold front is expected to bring snow to Colorado’s mountains and possible rain to lower elevations, including Grand Junction, on Saturday. Travelers should prepare for potential slick roads, especially in higher elevations, as snowfall accumulates through the evening.
According to the National Weather Service in Grand Junction, mild temperatures will continue through Thursday, keeping travel conditions mostly stable. However, by Friday night, a system will move in, bringing a 40% chance of showers before temperatures drop. By Saturday, highs in Grand Junction will reach the low 50s, while mountain regions could see accumulating snowfall.
While travel impacts in Grand Junction are expected to be minimal, those heading toward mountain passes should plan for winter driving conditions. Snow levels may rise initially due to warmer temperatures but could lower as cold air arrives later in the weekend.
Looking ahead, Sunday will bring drier conditions with highs in the mid-40s. Early next week, temperatures will cool slightly, with mostly sunny skies and highs in the upper 40s by Monday.
For those traveling on I-70 or through mountain regions, checking updated forecasts and road conditions is recommended.
